KITTITAS COUNTY, Wash. – Kittitas County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO) deputies recently trained with a new accessory for their Regional Tactical Response Team’s Bearcat armored vehicle.

This tool is designed to penetrate and dismantle structures and barriers that might hide armed suspects, KCSO said in a release.

The accessory can also deploy tear gas into buildings or vehicles without exposing team members to gunfire or other dangerous assaults.

This feature reduces the likelihood that deputies will need to use deadly force in dangerous situations, KCSO added.
